Project Objectives
An Alternative Dispute Resolution Teaching & Research Resource Centre has been developed.
An archive for that Centre has been established.
An annotated bibliography has been drafted and a contract has been signed with CUHK Press to produce it.
Four staff members attended professional skills training courses in order to improve the teaching in the areas of advocacy and ADR teaching.
Developed a strong foundation of teaching staff who can teach advocacy and ADR related skills in stand alone courses and throughout the curriculum.
Description of process and deliverables
Created an Alternative Dispute Resolution Teaching & Research Resource Centre within the Law Faculty.
Developed an archive of visual, audio & text resources for use by staff and students.
Created collection of best practice materials for teaching and delivering the full range of ‘alternative dispute resolution’ techniques and processes.
Drafted an annotated bibliography to support the archive mentioned above.
Evaluation of outcomes
The teaching staff and LLB students of the Faculty of Law already used the various resources of the Centre. In addition, students from other law programmes offered in term benefited from the resource centre and the skills acquired by staff can be utilized interchangeably across the programmes. The profile of the Faculty will be raised because of the creation of the resource centre and the enhanced coaching and participation in international professional competitions as a consequence of greater staff resources.
Dissemination of results & deliverables
The resource centre will be an ongoing asset for the Law Faculty and a receptacle for updated materials collected by staff engaged in teaching and research in this area. As a ‘training the trainers’ initiative this project will form the basis of an ongoing skills resource within the Faculty and will enable the Faculty to offer high level skills training on a yearly basis without being dependent on only one or two teaching staff and without buying-in expertise.
